Adrien Francis Morot (born 1970 in Montreal) is a Canadian makeup artist.

Morot had taken on various artistic interests since he was around five years old. [3] He drew creatures inspired by those from monster movies; [3] sculpted casts of his friends Star Wars toys; experimented with plasticine, Styrofoam, and Vaseline to make masks; [4] and was making home movies beginning at the age of twelve. [5] Though originally wanting to get into the film business as a stunt actor, his childhood experiences and a reading of a Fangoria feature about The Thing (1982) is what changed his career path to becoming a visual effects artist. [5]
Morot tried to break in when he was seventeen by working as a prop assistant [5] and storyboarding for various films made in Quebec. [6] He quickly grew dissatisfied with being on set and the lack of FX work available in the area. [5] At the age of 20, he went to Los Angeles as part of a tour offered by his friend, Jacques. [6] After showing his portfolio to various workers in the effects industry, including Tom Savini (a man he first knew about from reading Fangoria), he quickly garnered six job offers. [6]
